Wisdom and exercise from an OLD friend... Thanks Patricia!

Thanks Pat Richards Whitehead!  She's darn near my age.

: Excercise for people 50 and over




Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at

each side.



With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your

sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute,

and then relax. Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for

just a bit longer.



After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato bags. Then try 50-lb potato

bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in

each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute (I'm at

this level.).



Then, after you feel confident at this level, put a potato in each bag.
